Adequate and advanced knowledge of the response of forest ecosystem to temperature-induced drought is critical for a comprehensive understanding of the impact of global climate change on forest ecosystem structure and function. Recent massive decline in aspen-dominated forests and an increas...

　　Many studies have already addressed the existence of unstable and nonlinear relationships between radial growth of white spruce (Picea glauca) and climate variables in boreal forests along the high latitudes (>60° N). However, along the mid-latitudes, the climate-growth relationship is sti...

　　Ontogenetic growth reflects the changes of biomass, height (or body length) of a biological organism as a function of time. Many growth equations have been built but few can accurately predict the ending time of growth.

　　Assessing nutrient availability for ecosystem gross primary productivity of global forests especially complex diversified tropical and subtropical forests is a fundamental and crucial work. Analyses from forest succession showed that soil microorganisms and specific chemical processes may co...

　　In a study appearing in The American Naturalist, scientists in China and the United States report the discovery of a symbiotic relationship between a tropical tree and a tiny moth which is one of the most intricately interconnected relationships between a plant and its pollinator ever descri...
